I cancelled the hard copy long time ago. I still have the online access as I do with my other ones.

Exactly. We want news, not confirmation of our political biases, whatever they may be. Give us facts and we can form our own opinions, we don't need annointed opinion writers to tell us how we should interpret the news like we're in second grade. That's true whether you lean left or right.

Unfortunately, the actual news reporting has been suffering for a while now. I don't see how this one change will improve it.

Exactly. The core problem is that paper is now stuffed with low quality reporters and no editors. So the quality of the news side is abysmal and is effectively the print version of MSNBC. The only part of the paper worth reading is high school sports coverage which is actually quite good, the rest is just terrible.

Exactly. Just goes to show how ridiculous liberals have become. They spent the last few months yelling at anyone who gave them information they did not like. Yelling at pollsters. Yelling at newspaper editorial boards. Yelling at the world. Instead of actually engaging the public.

Folks need to stop throwing tantrums because other people do not agree with them and grow up.

You morons voted to end Democray add Catholic Church in public schools will be the norm. Project 2025 installed is horrible but you think you will be ok with banned vaccines and no jobs or food. Genius

You think that Trump and the other fascists will let the Pope put himself above the The Party?

Oh no, the Catholics are screwed, too.

Newspapers are suppose to offer facts. Yes, there is the opinion section but this should also offer a variety of different perspectives, not be a supporter of one party or one candidate.

The endorsement was going to be literally in the opinion section, by the editorial board.

When is the last time you read a newspaper?

Yes. But it is sold as WaPo endorses X. It is not reported as a group of opinion writers employed by the WaPo to write about their thoughts and feelings took a vote and a majority prefer this person win this election.

+1 like it or not this is exactly how it’s presented. The Washington Post endorsed X candidate! Same with any major newspaper. It’s great when it’s for your candidate, not great when it’s not for your candidate of choice.

Prove it. Quote the actual Washington Post.

In reality the endorsement comes from the “Washington Post Editorial Board” and it says exactly that every single time.

I was not clear in my reply.

It’s the candidates who say they’re endorsed by the Washington Post. They don’t make the distinction that it is from the editorial board. They just say the Washington Post. I don’t know how to prove it to you other than I’m looking at half a dozen mailers in my recycle bin right now.

Being endorsed by the Washington Post is a very big deal and gives clout to candidates.

Oh please. You don’t want news and don’t read a paper. Be honest

Except very few consumers of news products feel that way. You are a tiny, tiny, insignificant minority.

Most viewers/readers want affirmation, not information. They want something that tells them their own biases are right.

The election said otherwise!!! womp.

1. There were no liberals running.
2. They are endorsing a candidate, not a party. The parties have many, many candidates within the party.
3. You seem like you'd be right at home in 1930's Germany. "Uh, I don't know guys, we should give this Hitler guy a fair shake. Don't tell ME how I feel about fascism and racism!"
